Star Trek CCG Dream Cards AtoZ

A quick couple... THE ENTRIES: [16] Eddie [17] Eddington, Michael (no card required) [18] Edo god (no card required) [19] Edo [20] Edosian orchid (no card required) NOTES:  [16] You can force your own hologram to return to hand. You don't have to report the holographic Equipment with the Dixon Hill personnel, but you can't report WITHOUT a personnel. More than one Eddie? The ability becomes cumulative. Source: Star Trek: First Contact [17] Exists as a personnel card in The Dominion expansion. [18] Exists as a ship in the Q-Continuum expansion. [19] Both players can report a spouse/girlfriend/boyfriend to that location, as listed in the stopped personnel's lore (not in the downloaded personnel's lore). It represents a jealous lover breaking up the hug. :-) Source: "Justice" [20] My 90s self seems to have decided everything important here was covered on Plain, Simple Garak, back in the Deep Space Nine expansion. Who am I to argue? Next up: Another Eddie? Cards: ...

Today: Some First Contact stuff... THE ENTRIES: [11] Eastern Coalition [12] Eblan [13] Echo Papa 607 (no card required) [14] echo displacement [15] ECON NOTES:  [11] The AU Vulcan bit is supposed to recreate First Contact. Source: Referenced in Star Trek: First Contact [12] Each special skill is usable once per turn. Source: "The Collaborator" [13] Exists as the Equipment card Echo Papa 607 Killer Drone in the Alternate Universe expansion. [14] Source: "Basics, Part I" [15] Turning your own NA into a Fed or a Klingon isn't worth that much, but gaining an opponent's personnel without capturing, brainwashing or assimilating is pretty cool. Note that AtoZ has loads more AU NAs than Decipher's sets. Source: Star Trek: First Contact Next up: A quick couple. Cards: Enemy Coalition, Eblan, Echo Displacement, You're Going to Have to Trust Me

Get you PADDs out... THE ENTRIES: [6] early French impressionists [7] Earth guidebook [8] Earth Station Bobruisk [9] Earth Station McKinley [10] Earth (no card required) NOTES:  [6] Think you can guess your opponent's combo? It cannot have been scanned, that's cheating. If, by mistake or shuffling, the next card is yours, it counts as incorrect even if you somehow guessed right. Source: "Inheritance" [7] Of course, the personnel still needs to be an ENGINEER to use VCM. Source: "Little Green Men" [8] Personnel who have NO family relationships mentioned, even if you know they have them, are unaffected. Source: "Family" [9] Can coexist with Office of the President. One cool use: Seed a universal ship on close-by Mars (say, a Galaxy) and switch it with a unique one (like maybe Future Enterprise?) at the earliest opportunity (you'd still need an open AU Door in that example). Source: "Family" [10] Exists as Espionage Mission in the First ...

Another round of dream cards for the Star Trek Collectible Card Game, resurrected from the late 90s and given graphics for the first time. We turn the Encyclopedia to the letter "E" and the start of an expansion we'll call Emergence. THE ENTRIES: [1] E'Tyshra (no card required) [2] E-band emissions (no card required) [3] E-mail [4] Earhart, Amelia [5] Earl Grey tea NOTES:  [1] Was introduced by Decipher in the Deep Space Nine expansion. [2] Exists as an event in the Blaze of Glory expansion. [3] The Net is in AtoZ under B's Broken Links. Source: "Future's End" [4] She must be seeded in the Delta quadrant even if she was born in the Alpha quadrant. She's acquired like an Artifact and does not join the Away Team upon being encountered like Mirasta Yale. Look for an AtoZ card giving good use to the "'37s". Source: "The 37s" [5] Any personnel who is (or was) Jean-Luc Picard, including AU personnel like Admiral Picard and Lt. (...

As the first few AtoZ "expansions" had working booster packs, I've decided to try and keep it up. These have 15 cards, sorted like so: 11 commons (of 92 possibilities), 3 uncommons (of 92 possibilities) and 1 rare (of 98 possibilities). Which means that every time you refresh this page, you will get a different distribution of cards! Makes a nice palate cleanse before heading into the Encyclopedia's E's. Note that The Die Is Cast Enhanced would have been 4 special packs with set card lists, and D's Broken Links would have come in a 20-card box, so those cards aren't in the booster. 

The last five Broken Links from The Die Is Cast... BROKEN LINKS: [16] Tieran [17] Timothy Vico [18] Tulaberry Wine [19] Vic's [20] Weapons Platform Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [16] Another Ilari, Demmas [D147] has the opposite-facing Nemesis icon. In this form (the only one I plan to make), he's a persona of Kes. Source: "Warlord" [17] He's a possible requirement for the Dokaran Temple Model dilemma [D249]. Source: "Hero Worship" [18] The special download on Dosi Traders [D267]. I decided not to make it exclusive to the Gamma quadrant because this was an early deal made my Quark, but it still interacts with the GQ. Source: "Rules of Acquisition" [19] The program can co-exist with that of The Dunes [D55+]. Vic Fontaine-related cards either mention him in the lore or the game text. The Program allows you to shed persistent dilemmas and opponent's events played on your personnel. Source: "Badda-Bing, Badda-Boom" [2...

Kira makes a surprise appearance... BROKEN LINKS: [11] Nyrian Vessel [12] Presidential Order [13] A baseball personnel [14] Soliton Wave [15] Spectrum NOTES:  [11] Arctic Environment [D+38] can play on this ship as a Program card. When you take a captive, it is immediately moved to this ship, even from another quadrant. Source: "Displaced" [12] The special download on Rex Denning (D155]. You can still nullify Presidential Order with Kevin Uxbridge, but you'd need another to then nullify the underlying Event. Source: Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country [13] I had an extra slot to play with, and had cut baseball Kira from the B's Broken Links, so here she is! Source: "Let's Go Out to the Holosuite" [14] Donaldson [D257] can redirect Soliton Wave to another ship present, and there are two Soliton-related missions to take into account [(B206] Test Soliton Wave, which can download this card and I completely missed it, and [L97] Disperse Soliton Wave, in ou...

Going beyond errata with Dax... BROKEN LINKS: [6] A Jadzia Dax that follows AtoZ's host persona rules [7] Krole [8] Meridian [9] Nellen Tore [10] Nenebek NOTES:  [6] When I initiated special host swapping rules, I had to decree that Jadzia's card had the proper bold font. But since we do have an Ezri in AtoZ that does it, and I had an extra card slot to get to an even 20, why not make a Jadzia that does, too? Source: "Equilibrium" [7] Named as one of the personnel who can use Dataport [D65]. Source: "Honor Among Thieves" [8] Doral [D162] reports for free to this mission. I've basically adapted the game text from Investigate Legend. Source: "Meridian" [9] Solving Hire Aide [D128] downloads an Aide; this personnel was referenced as one in the design note. Source: "The Drumhead" [10] Dirgo's [D227] matching ship.The download can be used as many times as you want. Source: "Final Mission" Next up: Kira makes a surprise appear...

Just like we did with the other expansions, The Die Is Cast generated some Broken Links. The next 20 cards were designed in 2026, not the late 90s! BROKEN LINKS: [1] By a Nose [2] Captain Raymer [3] Flotation Device [4] Holoship [5] Incoming Message: Letters From Home NOTES:  [1] Would be great to end a tight game, but you can use the card much earlier. Solving Landscaping [D39] downloads it to your hand. Source: Referenced in "The First Duty"; picture from "Lethe" [2] The USS Destiny (D+5) needed its matching commander. Some of the lore is from her expanded canon appearances. Source: Referenced in "Afterimage" [3] Referenced as part of the requirements of Sunk [D189]. While you can have several in play, you can only use the effect once per turn, so multiple copies can't bust that limit at the same mission attempt. Source: Star Trek: Insurrection [4] AtoZ's Matthew Dougherty [D+47] has this as a special download. Being a prototype can be useful in ...

Okay, let's finish up Enhanced... THE ENTRIES: [51] drone [52] "Drone" [53] DuBois, W.E.B. [54] Dumah [55] Dunes [56] Duran'Adar (no card required) [57] dynamite Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [51] That's potentially a lot of capturing (minimum one) AND it stops the Away Team since they didn't have the Transporter Skill aboard their ship. Of course, if there is no opposing ship here, you may be stopped, but the dilemma doesn't beam or capture anyone. When removing those saved by Rifles, it's a random selection. In The Motion Pictures expansion, Decipher created a card called Transporter Drones based on this concept (included for comparison) Source: Star Trek: Insurrection [52] I suppose this would include artifacts used as equipment (though they are far less left unattended). Example of the text change: A drone grown from a Mek'leth would say "Each of your Borg present..." Sorry, non-Borg is still non-Borg so you can't...

A rival for Picard, a love interest for Bashir... THE ENTRIES: [46] Doran [47] Dougherty, Admiral Matthew [48] doughnut [49] Douglas, Sarina [50] dream species Decipher's version for comparison: NOTES:  [46] Toyed with making her universal and cumulative, but in an enhanced product, that doesn't fly as high. Besides, with 2 classifications, that might be overpowering her. Not to be confused with Decipher's holographic Cardassian also called Doran. Source: "Sons and Daughters" [47] At the same spaceline location as Dougherty and a Son'a, you don't have to adhere to the Federation's standard battle restrictions. You'll find Decipher's version in The Motion Pictures expansion (included for comparison). Source: Star Trek: Insurrection [48] You can't put more than 4 copies of a card in your deck, but if you could, I would have made the last effect trigger with 12 Doughnuts (though mostly as a joke). Source: "Far Beyond the Stars" [49] ...
